Yeah, Mick's a left footer....shite, you probably are too being spansih

You can't do multiples like that on Betfair Declan.....how many beers does Mick owe you?

Bobby Charlton against Mexico 1966, end of thread

I was going to give it 3/10 but thought LadyM would then tell me off too

Seen any square commerative england plates *Bob*?

PS Silly equals good sometimes

;-) A World Cup without flags would be a dull old thing Sean. It's the spirit of the flag waving that's important surely? You don't strike me as the sort of fella who would don themselves in head to toe in Emerald Green if Henry hadn't of cheated and fair play to you but I think we (and I do specifically mean England, rather than ingerlund) have now moved far enough away from old tribal crap that most people are comfortable with this now and can join in in the carnival surely?

Nope, that's a matter of taste. Funnily enough, If West Ham get to the Cup Final anytime whilst I'm still alive I would stick my hammers flag up in the window...until the missus saw it anyway. I will be wearing an england T-shirt I've got...but it's not "No Surrender" or any other crap like that.

With the World Cup approaching they are beginning to appear. Where are you on this? I must admit, I don't share the cultural cringe that seems to inflict a reasonable number of my white, metropolitan, liberal friends. Looking around already and certainly in the world cup 8 years ago (I was in Spain 4 years ago)I noticed that in inner London you see just as many english people from ethnic minorities wearing england shirts or with flags on their cars as white fans. I think one of the best things in recent years is that the English flag has been taken back from the nazis but I suspect if I hung a StGeorges cross out of my house window I'd be regraded as politically suspect or even a BNP supporter by a few of the usual suspects.

3 weeks Today.....just the Play Offs and that other cup competition to get out of the way first

The enduring popularity of Heavy Metal is one of lifes mysteries to me......

Crisps? You do know Brazil play Portugal that day Mick?

...and what's so unromantic about a comedy Aussie hat?

I'm not a scientist Hal but isn't the point that although you need a pre-existing cell as a host you can theoretically grow a 'created life' in there (In this case bacteria)

Did you like Angus Young's shorts too?

We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like ?I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive...? And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: ?Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?? :))

Bollox to all that northern retro/obsurity stuff with flairs and beetlecrushers..this was the club down south The Goldmine

Whe I see the words "National Database" I tend to be out for a whole host of reasons

You could buy a comedy Aussie hat with corks and string

You'll never catch me doing the Lottery, Fruit Machines or Roulette LadyM, I'm a proper gambler...I just lose all my money on the horses

I had mates who were twin brothers and a bit, er, dodgy. One time one went and collected his twins wages off a building site and blew his dosh, another time one got stopped by the Police and said he was the other brother (thinking they were after him)and got knicked as they were after his brother. They were hours of fun but either best mates or killing each other.

Have it on vinyl but was never completley convinced by it...not listened to it for ages (Can no longer play vinyl). Should I go for it on CD with the new bonus tracks? Kieth/Jah and others (not Mick Mack or HonnieB)

Abbot epuousing left wing values is a bleedin' joke. She knows what's good for the plebs children but not her own...double ironic given that it was left wing ideology that helped wreck much of our state education in the first place.

We are not becoming a nation of addicted gamblers LadyM...you are sounding suspiciously like the Daily Mail. The reality is, like alcohol and to a lesser degree drugs, most people can participate without becoming an 'addict' but a small minority can't, and they get all the Daily Mail like headlines.

Noel & Liam anyone?
